06/30/2004 Entry: "June 29th"

So today was another day where I was at least a week off. I thought and believed it was June 22nd. I had a good meeting at work and then a good meeting after work. Went to Louder Than Words with Rich. It was a good night, a lot of discussion which is good although the entire audience was poets. But maybe thats what it is supposed to be. Its ok for a tuesday isn't it. For the record I tend to believe that even bad people can hit on truth and thus create good writing or art or whatever. Sometimes the person they are in their writing is the person they want to be and not the person they are so in that respect maybe the audience for the work is them selves. That being sadi I hate people that use the pretense of truth to garner pity or attention, or accolades. It's purpose then changes to be self serving and I hate that although it can still affect a listener or reader or viewer the same way as a truthful non selfish piece.


Today's song of the day is "twisted mess" by Neneh Cherry from the Soundtrack Best Laid Plans

Betsey probably counts a bit more than Steve as he's actually brought poets into his classes.

I went 50% to see Seattle and 50% to see Nationals! Does that make a difference?

Okay, it probably doesnt... but what about Steve? Does he not count because I dragged him there and he's jaded by default? heh.

exactly you have been tainted by poets and do not count as objective, I mean good grief you actually traveled to Seattle to go to nationals.

But you're an unusual poetry groupie, so you don't count as general audience. There was a friend of mine from work in the audience, though she finally revealed to me that she's had stage experience and is a closet writer, too!

I can name 3 people who were not poets in the audience! Me, Steve and my friend! :-P
